Today marks the start of Deaf Awareness Week, which raises awareness about the challenges faced by 12 million adults in the UK who are D/deaf or have hearing loss. For personal and family reasons, this week is particularly important to our family

As a parent of a deaf child I agree wholeheartedly with this @BDA_Deaf . We have spent nearly £6k as a family and still not fluent enough to communicate with our deaf child . What happens when families can’t pay for bsl lessons ? #inclusionmatters BSL needs to be in all schools
